Actually, Subby, this article wasn't even about Serling's Twilight Zone. So why mention him in an article about shows that had nothing to do with him? Why not a headline about Serling rolling over in his grave about Oliver Wendell Douglas's 10 most confounding speeches on Green Acres?

there was a thread earlier about this. new twilight zone is blasphemous twilight zone. heresy!! heresy!! burn the infidel and so on.

This subby was revealed to have been more than human, and this thread's commentators less than divine.

Neither the machines of men, nor acts of nature, nor the blistering pace of time could keep subby from tripping over his own shoes and slamming the keyboard with his rotund, sausage-like fingers. Indeed, subby was enmeshed in the human condition, as he was but merely a poseur for misspelling my name.

Since the fifth day of August in the year twenty-twelve, submitter will carry the dishonor of this submission just as men before him have carried scars of shame, of regret, of unthinkable mistakes. He tries to take pride in telling new tales through Fark headlines, only to be appropriately and justly mocked by the masses he hoped to endear himself to.

I don't recall the exact plot details but there was an episode with George Takai that made an impression on me when I was younger. It was also a very controversial episode in that it tried to cover the relationship between Japan and America. If I remember correctly both men were caught up in a desire for revenge and both wound up dead from that desire.

... in The Twilight Zone.

You are traveling through another dimension... A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wonderous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

I grew up with the 80s reboot, and had to hide behind the couch every time the title sequence came on. Some of the 80s episodes really missed the point, but there were lots of gems in the series, and its better than most people give it credit for.

One story in particular, "A Small Talent for War", really stuck in my mind. It was like, "To Serve Man", where aliens come to Earth and humanity's fate is sealed over the misinterpretation of a single phrase.

I don't remember that episode too well, but it seems like a retread of "The Quality of Mercy" that also focused on the attitudes of American and Japanese soldiers and was very well done. Also, it featured Dean Stockwell and Leonard Nimoy.

"The Encounter". I recently watched it on netflix after being surprised that there was an episode I've never seen. Apparently it only aired once, which I why I never saw it. Seeing a twilight zone episode for the first time was like being a kid again for 25 minutes, it was awesome!

The one where the survivalist guy gets entombed in his shelter, since rather than the big one, it was just a radiation leak, was pretty good.

I was 13 in 1985, I thought the New Twilight Zone was pretty cool, and I liked the theme song. I still remember the one where the woman could stop time and went out to see a nuclear missile hanging over her town, one where kids were tested for intelligence at age 10 and were killed if they scored too high, and one where a guy was shunned for a year because he wasn't nice enough.

Oh, yeah, and the one where over the course of a day the English language scrambles itself into a new configuration and only this one guy notices and has to relearn how to talk. I loved that one as a kid.

I remember the one where the guy somehow gets stuck between time frames and learns that every world minute is meticulously assembled by a legion of faceless construction workers dressed in blue. Sounds pretty messed up to write in a sentence like that, but I remember thinking it was good as a kid.

There were some good 80's twilight zone episodes. There were even some good 00's twilight zone episodes, the update of "The Monsters on Maple Street" with the paranoia of a post 9/11 world being a notable example. Haters gonna hate.

With the great DVD/Blu-ray releases of the original Twilight Zone that have come out, how come Night Gallery can't get any respect?

All three seasons are out on DVD.

Universal even took some remaining segments that were syndication-only (or something like that) and compiled them into a "new" episode so that fans couldn't say that every NG segment hadn't been released.
